Catholic Church St. Ignatius
Brief description
A place of worship steeped in history
Detailed description
In the heart of Betzdorf, St Ignatius’ Church has shaped the townscape for generations. Its origins lie in the local residents’ desire for their own church. As early as 1862, a temporary makeshift church was erected on the site of today’s town hall. The foundation stone for the present-day church was laid in 1880 and can still be seen in the chancel today.
Today, St Ignatius combines its history with an extraordinary modern offering. Thanks to the digital Mediaki system, visitors can experience the church interior in a whole new way. Using a screen, they can select from a range of music and texts, and the chancel can be illuminated with different lighting effects to match. This creates a unique atmosphere for every visit – ranging from tranquillity and contemplation to a special cultural experience.
Tradition and modern technology come together here to create a truly special experience: St Ignatius invites you to rediscover a historic church and to experience the church interior in a deeply personal way through light, music and texts.
